Why are you blaming young people and Not the way they were raised?? They act that way because of the adults in their lives. Put the blame where it belongs, with the adults. Oh, and I have seen much more “bad”, entitled behavior from older people than I have ever seen from the young.

@Rockycoast Welcome!🥰 I mentioned that in the last 2  paragraphs below.😊 

"THANKFULLY, there ARE many young people doing AMAZING  things and are well behaved, but their deeds are often overshadowed by yet another SENSELESS tragedy at the hands of a young person! How did we get here???"

"I am curious about your perspectives and what YOU think can be done to hopefully shift the pendulum in the right direction! It all starts at home, but sadly, some of them live in an environment where where LOVE❤️ and discipline are non-existent😊 I wholeheartedly pray for them!🙏"

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

My grandchildren are in college, high school and middle school.

I am in their schools for functions and attend all of their many sporting events.

I know many, many of their friends and parents.

It is heartening to see their work ethic, aspirations, kindness, and values.

The future truly looks bright with this generation coming of age.

Nobody has attacked the OP. She always has thoughtful interesting posts.

The only attacks are from those who weirdly need to control the dialogue instead of just letting people talk about the topic.

It's tiring.

Yes.....exactly!! And those who invalidate the OP.

It's very funny when posters get upset that everyone doesn't agree with the OP.

This is how open access, completely public forums work.  Everyone doesn't step in line and agree.

You need to go to a restricted,  private forum for total agreement and not be upset with disagreement.

    I don't see anyone getting upset that people aren't agreeing with the OP....if only it were that simple.

   This is just a way to dismiss and make light of the real issue. There's a civil and enjoyable way to disagree.

   What I see as upsetting to some people (me included)  is the delivery of the posts that aren't in agreement. and reading something negative into a post that wasn't said or meant....

Guess this place was due for a young people are terrible post. Maybe it's a way to avoid looking at ourselves and the behavior of ADULTS these days. Atrocious role models

@Greeneyedlady21 Welcome!🥰  I appreciate your perspective!❤️ I do not think all young people are terrible.😁 In the paragraphs below I addressed that.😊

"To be fair, times and societal expectations have changed a bit, and what is accepted as "normal" adolescent behavior! Today, they have active shooter drills in schools and that truly breaks my heart.💔"

"THANKFULLY, there ARE many young people doing AMAZING  things and are well behaved, but their deeds are often overshadowed by yet another SENSELESS tragedy at the hands of a young person! How did we get here???"

 "It all starts at home, but sadly, some of them live in an environment where where LOVE❤️ and discipline are non-existent". 😊

The inter-web,  particularly an open forum available to the entire world, is clearly not for everyone,  particularly the sensitive and faint hearted!  The open internet is definitely not for some here.

    It's unfortunate that the inter-web and the world in general has a few "bad apples"  who bring down the masses.

I think a big part of it is parents wanting to be friends with their children.  I couldn't be a friend and be a parent when my son was young.  He wouldn't have taken me seriously.  He will be 24 in a few months and it is just now that I realized I am parenting him less.  That's ok because that is the way it should be.

@DrakesMomma Welcome!🥰  You raise an interesting perspective that I had not considered; the change in parenting styles and how it factors in!🤔

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗
